L-Glutamine is a huge favourite within the world of athletics, body building, strength training and any high-intensity activity.

Bodybuilders have traditionally used L-Glutamine when preparing for a competition and embarking on a restricted-calorie diet in an attempt to restrict muscle-loss and maintain strength levels. Athletes and strength trainers similarly have used L-Glutamine in an attempt to assist recovery and compliment a healthy diet


What is L-Glutamine? L-Glutamine is an amino acid found in proteins of all life forms. It is classified as a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, and plasma glutamine levels are the highest of any amino acid. L-Glutamine is predominantly synthesized and stored in skeletal muscle.

L-Glutamine is becoming one of the most widely-used supplements within the health supplement industry. Not only is it proving extremely popular with bodybuilders, strength athletes and those interested in maximising physical strength and power, it is also becoming a hot product for the non-athletic individual interested in optimal health and strong immunity from illness.

PhD Micronised L-Glutamine utilizes only the finest pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine to ensure the consumer gains all the positive effects this most valuable of amino acids may be able to impart.

Micronised L-Glutamine is part of the PhD Nutrition Mass and Strength range and can be used successfully with all other PhD products

Key windows for using L-Glutamine powder
Pre-exercise
Many athletes use L-Glutamine prior to intense exercise. By topping up levels of this important amino acid we are ensuring that our body may not be depleted as significantly as they would be without use. L-Glutamine may play a vital role in helping athletes stay in an anabolic state during intense exercise.
Post-exercise
Many body builders and weight training athletes may use L-Glutamine in conjunction with Creatine Monohydrate post workout, in an attempt to facilitate recovery. Studies have shown that using Creatine Monohydrate and L-Glutamine together may increase muscle mass.
Upon waking
Many strength athletes use L-Glutamine immediately upon waking. As sleep has enforced a prolonged period of fasting, use of L-Glutamine in the morning may help to improve intra-muscular levels of this powerful amino acid.
Prior to sleep
As the period of sleep may last up to 8-10 hours, use of L-Glutamine prior to sleep may help ensure high intra-muscular levels of the amino acid during the period when catabolism is most likely to occur.
